Posted on Camping thread. Figured I hit this one, as well.

I know we have a lot of shooters here in the NorCal BS Thread so here's a little info from Sportsmans Wearhouse:

If you’re a California customer, you may have heard that there will be changes to ammunition purchases as of July 1st, 2019. We’ve put this together to answer some of the most frequently asked questions that customers have, and hopefully clear up a few rumors that are going around.*

• What’s happening on July 1st, 2019?
  • Beginning on July 1st, 2019, all ammunition purchases in California will require a background check.
  • Prior to July 1st, 2019, California consumers can purchase ammunition without completing a background check.
• What about online ammunition purchases?
  • Just like today, all California ammunition transfers must be completed in stores. You can still order online from Sportsmans.com and have it shipped to one of our California locations before or after July 1st, 2019. The only difference is that once the new law goes into effect, you’ll need to have the in-store background check before the ammunition can be transferred to you.
• Will there be limits to the caliber or amount of ammunition that I can purchase?
  • No, this is a rumor.
  • There will be no limit to the amount of ammunition that you can buy in a single purchase. There will be no limit to the number of purchases you can make in any given time period or the number of locations you can purchase from, either.
  • There will be no restriction to the caliber(s) of ammunition you can purchase. You will not be limited to purchasing only ammunition for your registered firearms.
• What is the background check going to cost and how long will it take?
  • That depends on a few factors, outlined below. Basically, based on your qualifying information at the time of purchase, you’ll either have a $1.00 background check that will take a matter of minutes, or a $19.00 background check that may take 3 to 10 days. This will be per transaction, not per box of ammunition or per day.
• What do I need to know for this new background check before I buy ammo?
  • You will need to bring your valid California driver’s license (or other qualifying, valid CA state-issued identification) for your background check.
  • For most California consumers that have previously registered a firearm with the State of California (California refers to this registration as creating an Automated Firearm System or “AFS” record), the eligibility check will cost $1.00 and can be completed in a matter of minutes. You may purchase an unlimited amount of ammunition under one eligibility check and that ammunition does not have to be for use in a firearm you have registered under your name.
  • Purchasing a firearm from Sportsman's Warehouse will create a qualifying AFS record. An unlimited amount of ammunition can be added to the firearm Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) at time of firearm delivery for no additional background check fee. The ammunition does not have to be purchased for use in the firearm listed on the DROS. The new DROS will create an updated AFS record, entitling you to complete the "Standard" $1.00 eligibility checks in the future.
  • For California customers that have previously created an Automated Firearm System (AFS) record for a firearm, but have changed their name or address since that transaction, the AFS record must be updated using the California Firearms Application Reporting System (CFARS) found at . This process may require several days to complete and will require you to create a CFARS account and submit supporting documentation.
  • California residents that do not have an AFS record or are unwilling or unable to update an existing record may complete what is known as a "Basic" eligibility check. This check is good for one ammunition purchase, will cost $19.00 and may take 3 to 10 days prior to approval. There is no limit on the amount of ammunition purchased on one transaction. Unfortunately, this "Basic" eligibility check will not create an AFS record and any subsequent ammunition purchases would require an additional $19.00 fee, background check, and waiting period.

Additionally, all you California drivers, stand by for the 5 and a half cent rise in the gas tax starting July 1. As if gas wasn't already through the roof in cost. Ah, the good ol Communist Republic of California.

 

I was concerned I couldn't buy ammo for guns not registered to me. Thanks for the info as the news likes to share false info.

 

Cool update I saw on FB and thought I'd share

 

that's awesome

 

The gene pool gets shallow quick... Typical turd gen hiding place

 

Hahahahhahaha!



Oops for the owner.

 

Haha. Wow.

 

I have a new stock 2019 TRD OR and want to take it on some easy trails to have a little fun.

Thinking either a day trip or easy fire road to nice campsite.

When I say easy I mean easy since would be the first time for me, the truck is stock, and want to keep it out of harms way for now.

Any suggestions close to the bay area?

Thanks

I was thinking of this place, but also wondering if any suggestions for something more scenic and without a lot of traffic.

Anyone know if Old Coast Road (I think this is the name) down in Big Sur is open and easy?

How about the road down to the Lost Coast (Usal Road I think).

 

@Papadave418 was just at Usal Beach last weekend. Maybe he can give you current conditions.

 

I was just there and Usal Rd is open. We cut one tree but it’s an easy drive with great views. The beach is pretty cool

 

Thanks for the report. Don’t have the tools to cut down a tree. How long does the drive take down to the beach. Any water crossing or anything else a first timer should look out for?

 

The trees are clear. From Hwy 1 to the beach is about 20-30 mins depending on speed. If you drive Usal Rd till it pops out that’s about 25 miles, @3hrs. Perfect first timer road

 

Cool thanks might just give it a go.

 

Idk if it's open but it's very easy and very scenic. Take some snacks and drinks. Once you hit the top it'll be a nice spot to relax for a bit
